Definitions

  • the invention relates to a synchronization device with a synchronizer body, a sliding sleeve, a gear with clutch teeth and a synchronizing between synchronizer body and clutch teeth axially displaceable and synchronizing synchronizer ring, wherein the synchronizer ring is fixed by means of a spring device in a neutral position on the synchronizer body, and in the neutral position under spring preload abuts the synchronizer body.
  • a problem with such a synchronization device is that the synchronizer ring with return of the sliding sleeve from a switching position in which the gear wheel is transmitted via the coupling teeth with the synchronizer body, in a neutral position in which the gear is released from the synchronizer, often not exactly in this neutral position is returned, but is still in frictional contact with the gear wheel.
  • This in combination with a corresponding noise development which irritates the user, can cause the synchronizer body and / or a cone system between the synchronizer ring and the gear wheel to bump or wobble. Also under noise, this may be accompanied by a frequently asymmetric load usually carried out as a needle bearing storage and cause a needle bearing creaking.
  • a guided on the synchronizer body radially spring-mounted locking element in the form of a cylindrical roller or a ball provided.
  • the locking element is intended to engage in the neutral position in a centrally provided on the sliding sleeve receptacle with radial bevels, whereby it is fixed in position in the neutral position centrally and radially inward on the sliding sleeve, but an exact radial alignment of the spring force does not have to adjust and thus a tilting moment can adjust the synchronizer ring with tilting the same.
  • WO 2004/005738 A1 is a synchronization device with a hydraulically actuated sliding sleeve known, wherein the sliding sleeve can be brought via a return spring in neutral position. In the neutral position, the synchronizer ring is arranged spaced apart from the synchronizer body by a gap,
  • EP 1 624 212 A1 is a balance lever, pivotable about a central axis of a proposed for moving the synchronizer ring against the locking teeth, the balance lever, arranged between two mirror-symmetrically arranged synchronization devices, acting on the two synchronizer rings of the synchronization devices.
  • the spring mounting of the locking element takes place in a receptacle which is supported movably on both synchronizing rings of the mirror-symmetrically arranged synchronization devices in order to counteract a tilting of the synchronizer rings.
  • the invention should be based on the object to make the construction easier, so that the spring force required to return the synchronizer ring in the neutral position and for holding the synchronizer ring in this position can be kept low.
  • the spring device has a spring arrangement which is spring force effective with a first side provided on the synchronizer ring first stop element in the direction of the synchronizer body, and that the first Stop element is arranged axially guided on the synchronizer body, wherein the first stop element has a radially outwardly directed first sliding surface with radial surface normal and the synchronizer body has a second sliding surface on which the first sliding surface of the first stop member slidably via an axial guide path.
  • the positioning of the synchronizer ring is significantly improved and in particular simplified, since the synchronizer ring using the the first stop element is selectively guided directly or indirectly on the synchronizer body.
  • the proposed spring force with which the synchronizer ring is returned after synchronization in the neutral position and then held in this recirculated position can thus be relatively low, because the spring force only needs to cause the axial displacement in order to keep the synchronizer ring in the neutral position no transverse or rotational forces are to be absorbed.
  • the synchronizer ring is arranged to be movable into the neutral position by means of the spring device.
  • the synchronizer ring can be brought by means of the spring device in a defined neutral position against the synchronizer body.
  • the neutral position is determined by the definition of the synchronizer ring on the Synchronous body defined.
  • the synchronizer ring can be brought into a defined relative abutment position to the synchronizer body. This is always the same under normal operating conditions.
  • the synchronizer ring is aligned in the neutral position on the synchronizer body.
  • the synchronizer ring Since the position of the synchronizer in the switching operation relative to the housing or to a synchronizer driving the drive shaft of the synchronization device during the switching process remains unchanged, the synchronizer ring is placed with its attachment to the synchronizer body by means of the spring device in an always the same neutral position. It is possible optimal radial and axial alignment of the synchronizer ring in the neutral position. Thus, for example, drag moments acting on the synchronizer ring and the gearwheel due to, for example, a misalignment and / or an incomplete return of the synchronizer ring and a user irritating noise of the synchronizer ring can be avoided.
  • the synchronizer ring is in the neutral position under spring preload on the synchronizer body.
  • the synchronizer ring is moved to initiate the synchronization process in a synchronization direction away from the synchronizer body to the gear wheel axially to the clutch gear on the drive shaft.
  • a spring force against the synchronization direction can be coupled axially into the synchronizer ring by means of the spring device.
  • a correspondingly low-friction sliding of the synchronizer ring without tilting moments against the direction of synchronization to the synchronizer body can be achieved in the neutral position.
  • the definition of the space and its directions such as axial, circumferential and radial, unless explicitly stated otherwise, refer to the drive shaft.

  • the axial guide path may extend at least from the neutral position of the synchronizer ring to its force-transmitting device to the gear wheel.
  • the axial guidance of the synchronizer ring on the synchronizer body can thus take place during the entire synchronization. This can be ensured that no tilting of the synchronizer ring occurs during the synchronization process to the return of the synchronizer ring in the neutral position.
  • This guide can be done by means of preferably slidably abutment of the first stop element on the synchronizer body.
